CHURCHILL ON leIS:4 AFFAIRS.
Not Worried About the ''Pian''-Parneli',
View of the Situation.


LONDON, Feb 1.-Resuming the debate on
the address replying to the queens speech, in
the commons Monday, Lord Randolph
Churchill said regarding the evictions at
Glenbeigh, that the matter appeared in q
light favorable to the landlords, who had
really acted most generously. There was
little, he said, that was alarming in the plan
of campaign II necessary, additional powers
would be granted to tie government which
would cause a sudden and total disappear
ance of the plan Tie way to maintain the
Union was through sound administration Of
the law When he was a member OF the
government he had tried to make things
easy for the Literal L nionists, but he ad.
admitted that be hal regarded them as a
kind of useful crutch TIE union would
always depend upon the Tories. Lord Ran
dolph expressed the hope that the house
would not follow Chamberlain's policy Of
creating in Dublin anything in the nature Of
| parliament.
Parnelrs amendment To the address reply
ing to the speech from the throne sets forth that
| the relations between the owners and the oc'
| cupiers of land in Ireland have not been seri
| ously disturbed in the cases where thost
| among the owners have granted to tenants
| such reductions as were demanded by th'
prices of agricultural and pastoral produce.
| The remely for the crisis in Irish agri
| cultural affairs will not be found in increased
stringency in criminal procedure or in the
pursuit of such novel doubtful and uncon
stitutional measures as have recently beei
taken by her majesty's government, hus in
such reform Of the law an1 system of gov
ernment as will satisfy the needs and secure
the confidence Of the Irish people.
